Are school prizegivings harmful or helpful?
Discussions have surfaced as the school year comes to a close.
Auckland Grammar headmaster, Tim O'Connor, says prizegivings are an opportunity to celebrate student achievement.

"It's a ritual or a trait of education where, actually, we should learn how to be a contributing member of our community - and that includes being able to respect high-level achievement."
